find all the asymptotes for the following function
x-5/2x+1
vertical asymptote =
horizontal asymptote =
thanks so much
Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
as x becomes very large (either positively or negatively),
the -5 in the numerator and the +1 in the denominator become insignificant
this leads to a horizontal asymptote of y = 1/2

as x approaches -1/2, the denominator approaches zero
this leads to a vertical asymptote of x = -1/2
